A selection of local fashion designers have created one-of-a-kind red gowns that will be showcased at the runway show, cocktail reception and silent auction that directly supports the Bahamas AIDS Foundation's work with adolescents affected by and infected with HIV/AIDS.
Tickets go on sale this Saturday February 4 for a donation of $100 and can be purchased at La Rose Boutique, West Bay Street and Goodfellow Farms, Mt. Pleasant. The event will be held on Saturday, March 3 at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort & Casino.
I encourage everyone to support this fund raising event," stated the Honourable Janet Bostwick, a Red Dress Soirée Leading Lady.  "This event is one of the most innovative fund raising schemes I have heard about and it promises to be refreshingly entertaining.
"Women of varying ages of maturity, at least one of whom (I speak of myself) will find modeling most challenging, and most of whom do not see themselves as stereotype models, coming out of their comfort zones, and taking to the cat walk, displaying beautiful creations of some of our most talented designers!"
The ten 'Leading Ladies' include The Hon. Janet Bostwick, JoAnn Callender, Dr. Sandra Dean-Patterson, Karin Goodfellow, Maria Govan, Janet Johnson, Tanya McCartney, Elaine Pinder, Tonique Williams and Sharon Wilson.
